GordonS Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 35 minutes ago, The Real Saints said: A lot of people on Facebook are feeling extremely emotional right now because they met Prince Philip for about ten seconds in 1996, and they’ve kindly attached photographs of their meeting with Prince Philip as proof of it happening and as justification for their personal grief. In fairness, I'm sure we've all felt moved by the death of someone we never knew in person. Nelson Mandela, Jock Stein, Amy Winehouse, whoever, I'm sure we all have someone like that and I'm sure many around here will be sad when Billy Connolly finally pops. Difference of course is that they all achieved remarkable things in their lives while Prince Phillip achieved absolutely nothing of any use to anyone at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people on here who cannot handle it if someone dissents even a wee bit from the groupthink, even when that person is broadly in agreement with the prevailing mood. And especially when the dissenter is actually correct. It's a strange thing. Some nasty we bullies on here who just need the comfort of feeling they're in an environment which permits their antics. While I agree with you 100%, it's not going to stop as long as you keep going. They're baiting you and then slagging you for taking the bait. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Channel 4 seem to be the most centrist UK broadcaster. Good to see they aren't drowning in shoe polish from all the licking of boots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 If one person turns the telly off and goes a walk or reads a book because of the pish they are broadcasting today it will be the most positive thing Phillip has ever achieved. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt if they behave this way in wider life, but on here they feel they have a licence to, and they get a bit high on it. Back on topic, the coverage the BBC is giving this across TV and Radio really is ludicrous. I'd have expected this frenzy for the Queen, but for him it's just nuts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
